IXC communications currently has more than a hundred ds3s
cut. The outage started at 0830 CDT on 9/19/98.
All ds3s that I have isolated traverse their fibre route
between cleveland and downtown chicago. The outage seems to affect
the chicago area primarily.
IXC was unable to provide ETR.
On a side-note, if you are in the ameritech service area,
ixc's 800 number translation is not working. You get to
hear a non-standard 'all circuits are busy'. If you need
to reach them, call their austin number 5124273700
